F10 / F11 (2011 - 2016) The sixth generation of the BMW 5 Series Sedan (F10) was produced from 2011 - 2016 with LCI updates arriving in 2014. In the US BMW offered a hatchback 5 Series Gran Truismo (F07) and the rest of the world also go a Station Wagon/Touring version F11.

Well actually I just ordered it today. I had been working with Steve Thomas BMW in Camarillo CA for awhile now and decided to pull the trigger. I ordered a 550i M Sport. Iím telling you that the customer service was AMAZING. They are a smaller dealer, not real small but just not as big as some of the more popular ones. I really have not got anything negative to say about them. So far this has been the best experience buying a car yet. Hopefully all goes well on the pickup when it comes in, I will keep you posted.

Congrats on pulling the trigger! Hopefully you will not have to wait too long for your car to be delivered.

I had an excellent CA, quite knowledgeable, and unafraid to recommend options that he thought would fit me. The car I ended up ordering is my dream car! And the negotiation and financing were very transparent, so I ended up with a very good feeling at the end of the process. I am ready to repeat the experience in a few years!

The car I order is similarly equipped with a couple more things on it. I cant wait. How do you like the active cruise?

Hey Sherman, since I'm currently debating between the 550i vs the 535, what made you choose the larger engine over the gas mileage of the 535?

I kinda went crazy with options to the tune of $77,000 for a 535i. It was 5k for the 550i and I thought it would not only be more fun but for that money be more inline with getting a 550i. It also felt a little bit more solid too. When all said you only get 5MPG less in the 550.

This will be my first BMW. I have always liked them but was never completely swayed to buy one until now. I felt that BMW has made leaps and bounds in technology, fit and finish. and luxury with this car.
